A marriage of all the things I love: chiwas, burgers & the internet. The burgers didn't take too long to construct. Getting Parker to trust me again will probably take a bit longer though.For outtakes and behind the scenes check out theRead More link.

I always randomly pair words in google just to see what I find. Some of today's less fruitful searches were piñata suicide and vintage irish carbomb. Thankfully Day of dead kite was a glory hole. Thank goodness for my boredom sometimes. Had I not been aimlessly trolling the googles for something to stimulate my eyeballs or randomly purchase I'd have never come across these shots. I just learned that In Santiago Sacatepéquez- Guatemala people communicate with the spirits of the deceased who apparently speak through the whistle of the wind and the fluctuations and tiny movements of kites. They celebrate this in a spectacular annual Day of the Dead Kite Festival which this year falls on November 2nd. It's like Dia de Los muertos + sky & clouds + kaleidoscopes. Win!

I've been meaning to showcase my tiny apartment for a while now. Seeing that we'll most likely be moving, now's a better time than ever to share the little box with you guys. I absolutely adore our itty bitty 600sqft space. This is no selby feature but it'll have to do.

Here we have our bedroom with attached bathroom & balcony.I think the tealtown chandelier curtains add some charm but my favorite part of this room is the family photo wall. Anytime I spot white frames I just have to pick a few up.

Sadly, the inner workings of the building are deteriorating and the pipeage is questionable. We don't want to potentially deal with an other flood. We've been living here for nearly a year and a half. That's a bit of a record for us-- we're always on the move.
